In this insightful session from AJC Global Forum 2025, Steven Wisch, Chair of the AJC Board of Trustees, introduces a panel of esteemed rabbis from across American Jewry's denominations. Together, they explored the profound impact of the October 7 attack on the Jewish community, addressing the challenges and opportunities we face in a post-October 7 world. The conversation reflected on the unity and resilience that has emerged since the tragedy, highlighting how different Jewish communities—Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox—are responding to this new reality.

Moderated by Dr. Laura Shaw Frank, Director of AJC’s Center for Education Advocacy, the session included Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Rabbi Joshua Davidson, Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, and Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove. Additionally, Dr. Tanya White of The Rabbi Sacks Legacy opens the panel with words of Torah, paying tribute to the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, whose teachings continue to inspire hope in times of crisis. Join us for this important discussion on faith, advocacy, and the future of the Jewish community.
